The document summarizes the Regional Core Health Data Initiative (RCHDI), which aims to establish a standardized health information platform across countries in the Americas. It collects core health data through a collaborative effort and produces various information products including reports, profiles and online data tools. The initiative faces challenges regarding data quality, coordination of requests to countries, and missing opportunities for data harmonization. Going forward, it seeks to improve technical cooperation on data quality and redesign databases and indicators to better monitor health trends and inform public health decision-making.
